families are coming to the new playgrounds at civic centre.th two small children who came from sunset. they told me a year ago that they never would have gone to the playground there. too dirty, too run down, to many needles. now the new cafÉ on the playgrounds are now part of their saturday. this is a start. a first step towards making our public spaces clean and safe. we have also seen our investments in community policing yield results. last year, we had a 18% drop in homicide, which coincides with a major reduction in gun violence for the second year in a row. in fact, we had a 25% increase in firearm fees, and a 30 5% decrease in gun violence.

and it started from peach street all the way to mcalester and some people say, from the day to civic centre. so it is a long stretch and we are very excited that this project is complete and as many of you know, this particular street before this project happened, this corridor was one of the high injury network corridors here in city, and through the work of many of the commissions and many people, we have been able to improve the streetscape. today, that path is behind us. how about a clap for that. [applause] >> the streetscape is a makeover that offers several pedestrian crossings, bike lanes, and more importantly, it helps the businesses along the corridor be more vibrant. we are excited about that. the project has improved lighting and has improved landscaping, it has many new pedestrian bulb outs, a lot of work to the infrastructure, new paving, and of course, underground and sewer lines that also crossed many of the upgrades here. this is a complete streetscape. the project has happened with a lot of strong partnerships, with many community groups that help us to transform the stree

today's hearing is about our city's response to open-aired drug dealing in the tenderloin civic centreere are three things i hope to accomplish in this hearing. the first is to seek clarity and answers from city departments on what specifically they are doing to address the challenge of wide-spread and endemic drug dealing and societal impacts concentrated largely on our city's downtown neighborhoods. how are resources currently deployed, what is working and what is not and how we are coordinating across departments to ensure a comprehensive strategy. developing a city-wide strategy and understanding why we are failing to significantly alter the status quo is critical. i get asked, what is the city doing about the very visible and problem of drug dealing and drug use? on on hyde street, along 6th, market street, across wide swaths of my district there are dozens of people selling drugs at any given hour, including around our few parks and schools in the neighborhood. some of us receive updates from the police department who will be here about their strategies in particular areas and wi

running his of dedicated bus along van ness avenue that we will be able to get from just north of civic centre and in at 15 to 30 minutes. making sure the arena is accessible to every part of the city by transit, not just by rail. it is also the new bus service that is being funded from the lockbox. once the central subway opens, the story gets even better. those trains will go directly into the central subway and get to union square in 15 minutes or less. so the connection gets stronger and we will continue to run the buses. we will continue to run buses up van ness avenue, and we will run buses along the embarcadero into the market street tunnel and out to west portal. the options will get better when that central subway opens. that is the story for the best option, which is getting there by transit. the other question that i know all of us are facing, what will the story be with parking and traffic? first, the first piece of this is, as was described by the previous speaker, discouraging single occupant occupant automobile use as much as possible, and getting people better options. they wil

if you want to put up something like this, it should be the civic centre, or dogpatch industrial area somewhere else, not where we we have 12 homeless people who are attacking us, and i feel like our data has been used against us. we're told to call 311. every time there is a homeless encounter, but it is the same call that we need for those 12 or 15 people. instead of solving a problem, you are dumping 200 more on s. there has to be a whole lot more thought that goes into this, otherwise we with children and dogs, it is unlivable. it is not, i am not saying this out of nowhere, i have been seeing this first hand. i would like for this to be reconsidered. thank you. >> thank you. >> hello, my name is paul, i strongly oppose the proposed navigation center and i asked the commission to postpone the vote here until more diligence can be done. we are being told many things from the city, that we are expected to believe, that we know are not true. we are being told there were no other appropriate sights. we know there are many appropriate sites, with already water and sewage hooked up. we
